Believing in miracles

Albert Einstein is stated that we can choose to live life as though everything is a miracle or that nothing is!

So, are miracles results of our choices?

Perhaps it's how we perceive, or not, that miracles are happening in our daily lives.

There are three steps we can practice to strengthen our awareness of our power and choice, thus gaining greater control over our life experiences. They are: recognize, release, replace.

Recognizing miracles is not so difficult. So often we look to the large, cosmic, things, but in reality miracles can and often are the small everyday happenings.

Releasing comes when we let go of something and replace it with a more positive outlook or thought or relationship.

Replacing is similar. When we decide to look for and respond to the presence of God in the people we meet we replace things like 'not trusting', judging, and criticizing allowing miracles to take place.

The word 'miracle' comes from the Latin meaning "to look at". When we look at ordinary things, ordinary people, ordinary events with the intention of finding God in them we are certain to experience miracles many of them!

For you see, God is everywhere, in all things.

Instead of judgment, criticism, blame, fear, and worry, when we look with eyes seeking good, we recognize the light of God shining from others opening the way for miraculous happenings. Possibilities and open doors present themselves to us.

Experiments are beginning to prove that prayer does create positive, measurable, results.

Miracles are being documented in laboratories around the world, but I truly do not require such proof for I believe miracles abound!

We may not be aware of the many miracles taking place all through our day, but they are taking place in our lives all the time.

How many times has God healed your loved ones?

How many times have you or a loved one been saved from harm?

Each embrace from a friend or family is in and, of its own, a miracle to me.

The song of a bird, the waves crashing on the shore, the dazzling morning sunrise, the soft evening colors of the sunset .miracles!

So many times in conversations with friends they will share an experience and end the story with the words, "it truly was a miracle". Indeed.

As you travel this journey of life, stop and look .take the time to see the abundance of miracles that are yours. They are there, you know.

"Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles."
